Hi, all!

I having a game with a menu, and when you start the game it takes some time to load. So what i want is a loading image.
I used draw to front,load bitmap,get image,paste image,delete bitmap for loading and drawing it.
The image is 640,480 pixels.
But the problem is, it doesnt drop every step.
I know i can do a loop, for it. But then it wouldnt load.
I also know i can do the gosub command, but also then it wouldnt load.

How do i make the loading image draw to front while the main game engine is loading?

sync off: sync rate 0
set display mode 640, 480, 32

load image "image.jpg", 1
paste image 1, 0, 0
sync

...
...
...continue loading...
...
...

That should slap the image up and leave it there until you do another "sync" command.
